The Pakistani government doesn't always tell the truth and misleads other times. The history taught in the schools of Pakistan is heavily distorted and the news media doesn't offer a truthful view of what's going on.
I have been worried about the deteriorating condition of this neighboring country and I have scoured YouTube, news websites and forums for voices of sanity rising from the chaos.
Here are a few Pakistanis who talk straight. They are not necessarily friends of India but they don't make excuses for the conditions prevailing in their country. These are the men that the people of Pakistan should be listening to.
1) Ahmed Rashid - Author of "Descent into Chaos" and "Taliban"
2) Hasan Nisar - Journalist
3) Tariq Ali - Journalist and Writer
4) Javed Chaudhry - Host of the TV show Kal Tak
5) Mohammed Hanif - Journalist and author of the book "A Case of Exploding Mangoes". Head of BBC's Urdu service.
6) Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy - Eminent nuclear physicist
The one person whose theories the Pakistanis would do well to avoid is Zaid Hamid.
